Welcome to the World of Warcraft feature preview
for the brand-new Character Boost service.
In this video, we’ll walk you through the entire Character Boost process
and talk about what exactly you’ll get for doing so.
You can start the process by
purchasing a character boost from the in-game shop.
You’ll find it under the “Services” category.
If you’ve already purchased a character boost
just click the character boost token next to the character selection window.
First, you’ll need to choose which character you’d like to upgrade.
You can create a brand new character if you like
or choose from any of your existing characters below level 90.
Step 2 is to choose a specialization
for your upgraded character
You can, of course, change that later,
but choosing your specialization here helps
us set your character up so you can get started playing quickly.
Finally, if you’re upgrading a Pandaren character
who hasn’t yet chosen a faction
you’ll need to make that choice here as well.
Once you’ve gone through that process
your character will be immediately boosted to 90
and given a full set of item level 483 starter gear–
just enough to start sinking your teeth into level 90 content
such as the Throne of Thunder raid instance.
You’ll also be given a full set of 22-slot bags
and be teleported directly to the Timeless Isle.
And if the character you’re upgrading is level 60 or higher
you’ll get a Veteran’s Bonus
which boosts your professions to 600 as well!
And don’t worry –
if you’re partial to any of the gear your character is already wearing
, you’ll find it waiting for you safe and sound
in your mailbox after you log in.
Whether you’re catching up to friends
or just bringing up a new alt,
the Character Boost service will get you prepared
to head through the Dark Portal
and take the fight to the Iron Horde.
Thanks for watching this video
and we’ll see you in World of Warcraft.
